"A single pulse brought down nearly 50 drones": The US tests a new anti-drone weapon
Epirus company tests the "Leonidas" microwave weapon's anti-drone performance
According to the New Atlas website, Epirus company tested its new "Leonidas" microwave weapon system, which can disable multiple drones at once.
In the latest test, the device targeted 61 objects, and 49 of them were brought down by a single pulse.
According to sources, the "Leonidas" uses high-energy microwaves to affect the electronic devices of drones. The system is built based on gallium nitride semiconductors and is controlled by software, capable of automatically selecting the optimal operating mode. At the same time, the weapon is considered safe for people around.
The developers said that the main advantage of this weapon is that it can make large numbers of drone swarms ineffective and can build a "safe corridor" to protect important targets. In addition, the device can operate continuously without overheating issues.
